Moersch Omega Lith 100ml

Description

Omega Lith is used as a second bath after lith development to intensify the colours and densities of warm tone papers. With a treatment in Omega Lith it is possible to achieve intensive yellow or reddish tones while using relatively short times of development in strong lith working solutions. Such tonalities normally require excessive exposure in combination with long times of development in highly diluted developer. Treatment in Omega Lith will evoke intensive colours on warm tone papers with a silverchloride emulsion (such as Fomatone) which are already colourful when used in lith alone.

Dilute the stock solution between 1+100 and 1+500 to prepare the working solution. Discard the working solution when it turns dark red in colour.

Treat the print for between 30 seconds and a maximum of 4 minutes. If you are using strong lith developer working solutions (between 1+5 and 1+8) you can change from the developing bath to the Omega bath before the shadows turn black. In the Omega bath the deep shadows will appear almost instantly. The overall image tone shifts to more colourful nuances. In a developer dilution of 1+10 or more, allow the shadows to turn black already in the lith developer. The correct time of exposure is reached if the deep shadows appear after 3 or 4 minutes. Mid tones and highlights will appear in the Omega bath.
